What Beckett Threw

83 strikes and 25 balls! (At one point -- facing Vlad in the 4th to the end of the 6th -- Beckett faced eight batters and threw only four balls (out of 26 pitches).)

On the other side, Red Sox batters swung at missed only six times (three of those from Manny). Gammons's blog:

On Monday, hitting coach Dave Magadan went through advance guru Dana Levangie's report and begged hitters to try to lay off Lackey's slider and curveball out of the strike zone. Not one Boston hitter swung at a pitch out of the strike zone from Lackey.

Um, wtf? I thought the series with the wild card winner always started at the division winner's stadium just because they WON THE DIVISION. I'm sure I was just ignorant at it before, but wild card winners with HFA? That's not cool.

WHAT THE FUCK. i'm so fucking confused...i assumed this series had CLE with HFA, then on TBS the other night they mentioned "3 series starting at baseball shrines" fenway, yankee stadium and wrigley - I knew wrigley was wrong and figured Yankee Stadium was wrong too. I posted about it in yesterday's thread but didn't get a response.

Then I read a fucking article today that made it sound like tonight's game was in the Bronx. ARGH - what the hell. This just proves to me not to listen to any media shit. I never bothered to consult the actual schedule cause I couldnt care less, and was assured it was in cleveland. but seriously, this is fucking retarded...the fact that i kept reading stories about them playing in new york.
